EA Sports PGA Tour patch 12.0 and the launch of Season 11 is available today adding Jack Nicklaus to the roster, four additional courses and much more. Not only did the team add the signature swing for The Golden Bear and the Augusta National Par 3 course, they also added Valhalla, Pinehurst No. 2 and Royal Troon for a total of 39 playable courses and 23 playable pro golfers.
Career modes have been updated without the need to start from scratch. The PGA Championship will rotate every season between Valhalla, Oak Hill and Southern Hills. The U.S. Open will rotate every season between Pinehurst No. 2, The Los Angeles Country Club and The Country Club. The Open will rotate between Royal Troon, Royal Liverpool and St Andrews.
All four courses are also accessible in Quick Play and Private Matches and will be highlighted in the rotations for Online and Tournament playlists. Pinehurst No. 2 and Valhalla, having served as previous hosts for the Ryder Cup, are now included in Ryder Cup formats for Quick Play, Online and Private Matches.
